-sigh- Could Hunt Immunity be a thing...?

[EnigmaticDodo]

I really hate to be 'that guy' and suggest this, as the purpose of hunts isn't apparently supposed to be cooperative (as people supposedly say), but a lot of people treat it that way nonetheless. The ideal world situation is folks maybe wait 2 minutes at the most, but generally, this doesn't happen.

So, anyways, could a forced "Immunity" status be applied to hunts for a minute? If not an immunity status, then could S Ranks have a larger HP Pool? Maybe matching Stormblood S Rank HP? Just something to allow people to gather up, which seems to be the general wanted action, but some folks are just impatient, or honestly, some people thrive off of negative attention gained.

IDK, just a thought. Roast me off the Mothercrystal, please!

in addition,

* Hunt Marks need to be given rendering priority above all else. They are frequently disappearing due to the amount of players that are present for hunts and this just cant be a thing when current A Rank/S Ranks are capable of instant kills or damn near close

* SS Rank Minions that spawn need to not be allowed to de-spawn from being reset. Some players are actively engaging in this behavior to deny SS Ranks.

* User KageTokage, has suggested that Hunter Scholars in the misc areas have timestamps of death from the various hunts. This would greatly extend their usefulness beyond just providing lore.

Edit Note: My character on the forums is not one I mostly use, this is not occuring on Gilgamesh (that I'm aware of lol), but I will not specify, just intend to bring it up as an issue.
Edit 2: Added Increased HP as opposed to outright immunity.
Edit 3: added rendering priority.
Edit 4: added SS Rank Minions being unable to despawn + suggestions, I guess this has just turned into a hunting feedback post for me lol

If it's dying before you get there, then there were enough people gathered.

People sharing their hunt is an act of generosity. It's not an obligation. They found it. They aren't obligated to wait for everyone and their mother to arrive.

If you're not spawning the hunt, then you shouldn't complain about missing it. Simple as that.

[EnigmaticDodo]

I'll exit stage right lol

[DevilsDontFly]

The problem with the idea of waiting is that there's always someone that's gonna be late. We can say "hunts should be immunte for the first 2 minutes", but on practice we could wait 20 seconds or an hour, there's always gonna be someone that couldn't arrive in time. Even calling out the hunt exists is something people do just out of cortesy, since most parties can just kill anything in sight without saying a word anyways.

It's nonsense to say that Hunts aren't intended to be shared when they've freshly added a "kill 1000 ShB S ranks" achievement with a mount attached. Achievements like this are only realistically possible by sharing hunts, linkshells and third party sites. They know this. It's a part of the game now.

A few minutes immunity, or the S rank zone message popping up a few minutes before spawn, wouldn't hurt. If someone complains about EP after that you can outright ignore them because the immunity means the Hunt has gone through a fair wait time.

Anyone who doesn't make it to a hunt insists it was pulled early. If you want to get to hunts, make it a priority to do so. Help scout and spawn them. Don't complain because nobody waited to make sure you were present to get your freebies.

Thanks for this. I'm mainly after it for the goal of wanting to eliminate drama. I just would like to do the hunt and not have to worry about people trying to farm notoriety and stuff like that. If it's made invincible for a little bit, then everyone will have a shot at it in that timeframe, miss it after that? Oh well.

[EnigmaticDodo]

My only other suggestion would be to make all S Ranks have a super high HP pool. Then even if a quick/instant pull is happening, folks can still make it and get some credit.
